I once encountered a woman at a TLM who was there as a stranger, I think.
She started yelling in the church that the altar was set up for the priest to "offfer Mass with his back to us", she actually yelled this outloud before Mass.
I went over to her with a big smile on my face [others where talking back to her in a mean way and she talked back angrily] I went up to her with a big smile and gently took her to the vestibule, she was now calm and meek.
I told her in a joyful manner that we all face God in the same direction at Mass.
She became calm and understood this.
Joy even in the face of sacrilege.
